Title: Where is the fire?
Post by: Kaos on October 14, 2018, 02:33:50 PM
Where is the anger? The outrage? The fury? 

Has the constant roller coaster circus of the Malzahn era beaten that out of us? Has the relentless dominance of Saban’s teams taken the fun out of the game to the point we don’t care any longer? 

We are getting CLOWNED by joke coaches, mediocre programs and punk fanbases.  

Maybe we can’t personally pay his buyout.  Maybe we don’t have the ear of the President.  But should we just sit back and take this shit?  
 
I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture on somebody’s part!

This is all Tommy Tuberville's fault. If he hadn't checked out and left it to the BBQ boys to handle things (when they clearly weren't) and hadn't introduced Tony Franklin into a coaching staff who did not want that, we don't fire him. We don't hire Chizik who hires the snake-oil salesman known as Gus Malzahn. Now, we miss out on the only national championship any of us would have ever seen in our lifetime, but we don't come to expect such lofty things either. And really, weren't we all happier before we started keeping up with the Joneses?

I would not trade the national title for anything.   

As I got older there were a couple of things I marked on my list of things I hoped to experience before I died.  

That Auburn title was one of them.  It is priceless to me.  I regret that it did not result in a decade of sustained success and only unfortunately reinforced the wrong-headed obstinacy of both Gene and Gus.  

Also on the list? World Series titles for the Red Sox and Cubs.  

My biggest gripe with Gus is his blindness. His way works or he has no answer.

Im too old to be scoping out floor plans gauging kitchens to stairwells with salads and what not. Security is much better these days plus I have my grand children to think about. Sorry!

I think Leath is culpable having helped Jacob's broker this fleecing with Sexton. Rest assured some sizable back-end money changed hands to make this happen.

I’m so fucking tired of Bama fans they dominate and we shut the bed at home as a 15.5 favorite. Gus is rich beyond his wildest dreams and our beloved program is headed for the worst 5 year stretch in school history. I think we should sue him for the money he’s stolen from us.

I say we continue to pay him (by law) but suspend him indefinitely.

Really! What use is his silly ass on the sidelines if he's a symbol of failure for the chuckleheaded media to ridicule and/or shame? 
Look at stupid Auburn...again!
There's also a negative stigma for the team to have to deal with his being out there acting as if he isn't screening plays or coachspeaking afterwards.

I ran the numbers, if we can get 88,000 to chip in 363 we could buy him out. Pass the fucking hat.

You actually pose an interesting thought.  I wonder what his contract reads.  Move him to another position on the staff? Head Waterboy....it still says head in your name. 

6.8 million a year is cheaper than the buyout.

Can't we just get a fall guy to come forward and say Gus touched them inappropriately?
